Get rid of the dynamic linker's internal malloc package, and arrange

things so that it uses the same malloc as is used by the program being executed. This has several advantages, the big one being that you can now debug core dumps from dynamically linked programs and get useful information out of them. Until now, that didn't work. The internal malloc package placed the tables describing the loaded shared libraries in a mapped region of high memory that was not written to core files. Thus the debugger had no way of determining what was loaded where in memory. Now that the dynamic linker uses the application's malloc package (normally, but not necessarily, the system malloc), its tables end up in the regular heap area where they will be included in core dumps. The debugger now works very well indeed, thank you very much. Also ... Bring the program a little closer to conformance with style(9). There is still a long way to go. Add minimal const correctness changes to get rid of compiler warnings caused by the recent const changes in and . Improve performance by eliminating redundant calculations of symbols' hash values.

Someday I'm going to face the music and dispose of this private malloc copy.

Revert $FreeBSD$ to $Id$

Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!) avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long. Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been insane otherwise.

Weak symbol support from NetBSD. This should bring us in sync with the

NetBSD ld code except for local changes for dlopen() and friends and the hashing on the minor value of the shlibs. We should be binary compatible now with all their libraries. Obtained from: NetBSD

Changes from Paul Kranenburg which bring us into sync with his sources:

handling of errors through the standard err() and warn() more fixes for Geoff Rehmet's NULL pointer bug. fixes NULL pointer bugs when linking mono and nested X servers. supports a `-nostdlib' option. accept object files without a symbol table don't attempt dynamic linking when `-A' is given a few variable names have chaged (desc -> fd), and the formatting has changed which should make it much easier to track his sources. I tested 'make world' for /usr/src and X twice with these changes.
